Each month James River Senior Services will be having two special evening
meals.

The second Thursday of each month will feature a rib night with all the 
trimmings and the fourth Thursday of each month will feature another special 
dinner. This meal will be served at the James River Senior Center I only. 
Serving will start at 6 p.m. each evening. Please call the Center by noon 
Thursday to reserve a meal or have a home delivered meal according to our
regular guidelines.

The James River Senior Citizens Board of Directors meet every third Thursday of
the month to conduct the business of the organization.  The meetings start
with the noon meal of the day and are open to the public.
